Am Am        C C          
Slow down you crazy child
G G A# A#
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
F F C C
But then if you're so smart tell me why
D D E E
You are still so afraid


Am Am C C
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about
G G A# A#
You better cool it off before you burn it out
F F
You got so much to do and only
C C D D E E
So many hours in a day


F F G G
But you know that when the truth is told
C C Em Em
That you can get what you want
Am Am C C
Or you can just get old
F F Bm7 Bm7 E7 E7 Am7 Am7 D7 D7
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
F F
When will you realize
G G C C
Vienna waits for you


Am Am C C
Slow down you're doing fine
G G
You can't be everything you want to be
A# A#
Before your time
F F C C D D E E
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight


Am Am C C
Too bad but it's the life you lead
G G
You're so ahead of yourself
A# A#
That you forgot what you need
F F
Though you can see when you're wrong
C C D D E E
But you know you can't always see when you're right you're right


F F G G
You got your passion you got your pride
C C Em Em Am Am C C
But don't you know only fools are satisfied
F F Bm7 Bm7 E7 E7 Am7 Am7 D7 D7
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
F F
When will you realize
G G C C
Vienna waits for you


F F G G
Slow down you crazy child
C C Em Em
Take the phone off the hook
Am Am C C
And disappear for a while
F F Bm7 Bm7 E7 E7 Am7 Am7 D7 D7
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
F F
When will you realize
G G C C
Vienna waits for you

F F G G
But you know that when the truth is told
C C Em Em
That you can get what you want
Am Am C C
Or you can just get old
F F Bm7 Bm7 E7 E7 Am7 Am7 D7 D7
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through

When will you realize

Vienna waits for you

When will you realize
G G C C
Vienna waits for you
